The Anti-Imperialist Revolutionary Popular Unity UPRA urges the
revolutionary forces to be alert and prepare to fight the measures of
the U.S. government in order to defend the homeland of the Venezuelan
people against the blatant interference by the government of the United
States, which has deepened its aggressive attacks in order to subdue
the children of Ana Soto, Empress Guzman, Guaicaipuro, Jose Leonardo
Chirino, Miranda, Bolivar and Chavez, whose Caribbean blood flows
through our veins, and who throughout history have demonstrated our
revolutionary spirit, making a reality of the principles of
combativeness and heroism.

The ruling class of the United States, which for centuries has subjected the peoples of Latin America under the Monroe Doctrine “America
for the Americans,” is trying to continue maintaining the oppression of
the proletariat of their own country and of the peoples of the world
through media manipulation, threats, blackmail, economic and political
means such as blockades and military aggression. But today just as
yesterday, it will meet the resistance of a united people who, even in
conditions of great unevenness, have fought bravely, holding high the
popular demands, and inflicting great defeats on it, when we have kept
our forces united as a single fist.

The principle of popular
unity that UPRA upholds is the cornerstone for the resistance, for the
advance and for the victory of the proletariat; in times of direct
struggle against imperialism it has been an infallible recipe. As the
Venezuelan people showed by mobilizing for the return of Chavez, as the
Vietnamese showed against the French and U.S. invasions, as the Cubans
showed against the U.S. and as the USSR showed in the Great Patriotic
War against Nazi fascism, Unity is the only possibility of winning. But
this unity must be built on the basis of the qualities of the
revolutionary vanguard, clear, mobilized and disciplined, imbued with
the revolutionary audacity of the working class and the peasantry, with
the boundless energy of the youth, women and people with the noble aim
of defending their strategic project.

Faced with the grave threat that hangs over our people, we must endorse
a thousand times over the need for revolutionary popular unity. Unity
of the different proletarian, revolutionary and patriotic trends,
movements and parties, unity around the Bolivarian Government that has
the responsibility of leading our country, without hesitation or
conciliation with the bourgeoisie. At this difficult time, unity around
those who understand that only through socialism can we overcome the
complex challenge that the bourgeoisie, with their reactionary and
fascist plan, is imposing on us, understanding that the struggle
against imperialism must necessarily be accompanied by the demand for
socialism. For that reason we in the UPRA confirm the conclusions of
the First National Convention of the Revolutionary Left and the energy
of the organizations that make up this platform as a contribution in
achieving an undoubted triumph against the forces of reactionary
terrorism in order to take up the position of combat that the
revolutionary struggle imposes on us at this time.

With the Anti-Imperialist Revolutionary Popular Unity We Will Defeat the Fascist Aggression!

Neither a Coup Nor Fascism Will Stop Socialism!

No
Conciliation with Imperialism But the Victory of the Revolution!
